Great Italian Food

by Phil Hinkle at Citysearch

Being married to an Italian, we took her father. They have a new bread and he said it reminded him of the bread his grandmother made. He is 89 years old. He loved the food and the choices. Being picky about his italian food, we were not sure he would like it as much as we did. He did. He loved it. When he returns to Indy he wants to go back, even if it is a thirty minute drive thru construction traffic.

The food is great, well prepared and hot. Service is very good. Highly recommend Maggiano's.

• Pros: Friendly, prompt, great atomsphere, family friendly
• Cons: If you reserve to late you will wait.

Family-friendly restaurant serves up enormous portions of southern Italian favorites in a nostalgic setting.

In Short
Family-style portions and red-checkered tablecloths create a casual, congenial vibe, drawing families and large groups to this feast of Italian-American nostalgia set to a Sinatra soundtrack. The made-from-scratch menu is brimming with traditional dishes, from starters like fried calamari, Parmesan garlic bread and Tuscan-style mussels to spaghetti with meatballs and manicotti with chicken and spinach. For those with room to spare, a piece of sweet tiramisu and a strong cappuccino help finish the meal.

Best Italian in town!

by susan1981 at Citysearch

Maggianos has quickly become my favorite restaurant in town. The atmosphere is great, the food is well worth every penny - I've never had something I didn't like! We have always had great servers - very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Try the onion strings appetizer - inexpensive, large amount and absolutely delicious!

• Pros: Atmosphere, very classy place, clean, delicious food!!!
• Cons: Busy location, can get pricey

I loved going there for lunch with my family! It was $14 per/person for 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, 2 entrees, AND 2 desserts! All replenishible! Better than a buffet because it was fresh! Definitely the place to try! And I'm an Italian from the east coast!!

• Pros: Great Food, Eat a ton for cheap!
• Cons: None!

GREAT Italian Restaurant

If you like Italian, this is a must-eat-at restaurant! It is the best Italian restaurant I've ever eaten at. I try to eat there at least once a month if not more. The portions are HUGE and well worth the cost.

Good Food, Good Service

by redmull50 at Citysearch

I have been to Maggiano's in a few different cities. Atlanta, Chicago and Indy. All are good and all are worth the money. The management at the Indy location were great because at the last minute I had a very important reservation to pull together for a birthday and they helped me out. That is the above and beyond that makes a place great.
